For one thing, it's a not a direct translation, and for another, the English version isn't just a direct dubbed version of the original, but has been edited into something different. So arguably "Star Blazers" and "Yamato" aren't even entirely the same thing. Maybe for the original series. The modern reboot also uses Star Blazers, even the English language SRWV refers to it as Star Blazers. ParanoidObsessive posted... As are "Space Sheriff Shaider" and "VR Troopers". I have only seen VR Troopers on tv here (under that title), only seen a bit of actual Metal Heroe shows. ParanoidObsessive posted... Though to pull it back to the original point, do you call it "Space Battleship Yamato"? Or do you call it "Uchu Senkan Yamato"? Because one of those things is acceptable, and the other is probably going to get you made fun of. Pretty sure the second u is long, does that suffice as an answer? ParanoidObsessive posted... Generally speaking, if there is a direct translation name for something in your own native language, the standard accepted usage is the translation name, and only hipsters, pretentious tools, culture nerds, and weirdos are going to use the native title. Unless you're a critic of some kind, or are otherwise providing the original name for academic/scholarly/informational purposes, you should probably stick to the alternative title that fits your own language. No idea if it was ever released here and under what title. "Ruimte Gevechtsschip Yamato" does sound better than "Sterren Rokers". And yes, I tend to refer to Ahiru no Kuwakku as Alfred J. Kwak and say Geragera Bsu Monogatari as Boes. ParanoidObsessive posted... In the same vein, kids who watched anime on TV in the US in the 90s were watching Dragonball Z, Ronin Warriors, and Sailor Moon, not Doragon Boru Zetto, Yoroiden Samurai Torupa, and Bishjo Senshi Sera Mun.
